Ballroom dance lessons on RCL

can anyone tell me if there will be ballroom (waltz/quickstep) lessons on sea days on NOTS Mediterranean Sept cruise?:)

We started ballroom dancing on RC about 10 years ago, and have noticed that as each new type of ship comes out, the dance floors are smaller than the preceding version. I'm guessing that the reason for this is that tables with drinking guests produce more revenue than dancers.

Anyway, while dance instruction seems to be on the decline, the general rule of thumb is that the longer the cruise, the more instruction. Until recently, it was pretty standard that on long cruises like transatlantics, the ship would hire a dance couple that would give one or more lessons every sea day. On somewhat shorter cruises, like a 10 day, we have also had the feature dance couple from the production cast do regular lessons. Often on a 7 day cruise, a few short lessons might be fit into the sea day schedule.

So, not knowing the length of your cruise, and the tendency of RC away from ballroom, hard to say. Wouldn't hurt to find the cruise director ASAP, and ask if some lessons could be worked into the schedule.

Thanks, our cruise is 14 days ...... So a little more hopeful
